Making humanity multi-planetary isn't just another milestone—it's being ranked among the most transformative moments in Earth's entire evolutionary history. The development of advanced space transportation technology stands on par with some of life's greatest breakthroughs: the emergence of single-celled organisms, the evolution of complex life forms, and animals transitioning from ocean to land. These weren't incremental steps—they were fundamental shifts that redefined what was possible. Today's push toward becoming a spacefaring civilization represents a similarly pivotal chapter. The technological infrastructure being built to support sustained off-world presence could reshape human civilization for millennia to come. Whether this ambition translates into reality will depend on continued innovation, investment, and the ability to solve the engineering challenges that remain. Still, the vision itself signals how far we've come and where human ingenuity might take us next.

Maybe a bit overestimated, but that's assuming we make it until then, haha.

I'm just saying, comparing moon landing to the origin of cells might be a bit of an exaggeration... but on second thought, it is indeed absolute. *** Talking about Mars colonization sounds nice, but is capital really pouring in? *** Feels like every time it's about vision and ambition, but the generation that can actually go to Mars, we probably won't live to see it. *** Unstoppable, confusing human evolution with technological progress. *** If engineering challenges can't be solved, then don't boast. First, let's fix Earth, okay? *** The words sound pretty, but is all this investment to let a few people go to Mars or truly for the future of humanity?

tbh the evolutionary comparison here is doing a lot of heavy lifting... like, technically speaking, we haven't actually solved the fundamental engineering bottlenecks yet. interesting edge case though—calling it "transformative" before the infrastructure even exists. needs further review imo

Keeping you in suspense... If humans are truly sent to Mars, how is it just on the same level as the origin of cells? That might be a bit exaggerated haha The idea is good, but I'm afraid in the end it will just be a game of capital How long would it take for this to become a reality? Ten years? Fifty years? Or will it forever stay in PPTs? Engineering difficulty is one thing, but money is the real challenge A multi-planet civilization sounds great, but can't we first just get Earth right?

Uh... comparing it to the origin of life? That's a bit of an exaggeration. --- Really? If it can actually happen, I would buy in now. --- There are still a bunch of engineering challenges, let's not get ahead of ourselves. --- Multi-planetary colonization sounds great, but I don't know when it will actually be achievable. --- Capital isn't ready to invest that much yet, but the slogans are loud and clear. --- If it really succeeds, human history will have to be rewritten... but the chances are pretty slim. --- The paper looks good, but how about the actual implementation? --- That's true, but Earth hasn't even been fully healed yet.
